SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The University of San Diego head women's soccer coach Ada Greenwood has announced the addition of P.J. Woolridge to the Torero coaching staff.
"We are very excited with the addition of PJ to our program. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, and we look forward to the future with PJ and the Toreros' women's soccer program," stated Greenwood.
Woolridge comes to the Toreros after serving as an assistant coach at Cal Poly for the past eight seasons. While at Cal Poly, Woolridge helped the team win the Big West championship four consecutive seasons (2000, 01, 02, 03), and helped guide the Mustangs to five appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
Woolridge was no stranger to Cal Poly soccer as he was a four-year starter for the Mustangs' men's team from 1995-98. Playing the majority of his games at sweeper, Woolridge helped lead Cal Poly to the Divsion I men's soccer playoffs in his first year in 1995 and earned All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation first-team honors in 1996 and 1998.
Woolridge still holds school records at Cal Poly for career matches played (72), career matches started (72) and game-winning goals in a season (four in 1995). He graduated from Cal Poly in 2000 with a degree in psychology.
The San Jose native is a 1995 graduate of Leland High School in San Jose. Woolridge lettered four times in soccer as a midfielder and forward, serving as team captain two seasons. His four teams posted a combined 70-15-5 record and Woolridge was named All-City four times and All-Santa Clara County twice as he scored 55 goals and 68 assists in his prep career. He also was a two-time High School All-American (1994, 1995) and played on the Youth National Team in 1991 and 1993.
